[“What though the world be cross and crooky?]
“What though the world be cross and crooky?
Of Life's fair flowers the fairest bouquet
I plucked, when I chose thee, my Sukie!
Of Life's fair flowers the fairest bouquet
I plucked, when I chose thee, my Sukie!
“Say, could'st thou grasp at nothing greater
Than to be wedded to a waiter?
And did'st thou deem thy Schmitz a traitor?
Than to be wedded to a waiter?
And did'st thou deem thy Schmitz a traitor?
“Nay! the fond waiter was rejected,
And thou, alone, with flower-bedecked head,
Sitting, did'st sing of one expected.
And thou, alone, with flower-bedecked head,
Sitting, did'st sing of one expected.
“And while the waiter, crazed and silly,
Dreamed he had won that precious lily,
At length he came, thy wished-for Willie.
Dreamed he had won that precious lily,
At length he came, thy wished-for Willie.
“And then thy music took a new key,
For whether Schmitz be boor or duke, he
Is all in all to faithful Sukie!”
For whether Schmitz be boor or duke, he
Is all in all to faithful Sukie!”
